A onoer Social Custom.

A queer custom prevails among the In
dians of the Kuskowim country. 1t seems
that If native woman is agreeable to O
change of husbands, the question of her
possession is decided by n wrestling match
between the two rivals, in which the victor
carries off the woman. The vanquished
combatant does not appear to entertain
the slightest feeling of anger or resent
ment against his more successful opponent.

THE DAY.

The public holidays in America are not
too many. If we were called from the
treadmill of business to the relaxation of
the holiday of leisure, we would be better
for it. This day is one of the few in which
all Americans can meet upon common
level of patriotic sentiment To remember
those who armed to defend the union of
States; to place upon the graves of those
who fell fighting for liberty and the Re
public; to lay tributes of floral wealth
upon the ashes of freedoms heroes, is to
worship at the shrine of the loftiest pa
triotism. Decoration Day is full of rich
meanings, it testifes that people are not,
if princes are, ungrateful; that in repub-
lies the defenders of national interests are
of the people, and are by the people re-
warded; 1t teaches us the value of citizen
soldiery the worth patriotism, the quail
ity of true heroism and the breadth and
depth of patriotic devotion. 1t is an in
fuence to cement us in sentiment; to bind
in unity of national purpose; to attach us
to republican institutions; to make us
abhor rebellion; to respect law
and authority, to love liberty,
and to respect the inalienable rights of
men. The day ought to be observed by
all. 1t ought to be the signal for laying
aside all and any other duties, and for all
the people bowling for some hours at the
foot of the loftiest shrine raised for man
hood, human rights and self-government.

SENSIBLE CONCLUSION.

Says the San Francisco Post: "There is
no good reason why the Institute should
not give its show either before or after the
State Fair. The understanding as to a
discsntinuance of this unnecessary and
provoking competition reached year ago
was commended at the time by the Post.
and why the Institute has receded from it
has not been explained. Until some more
creditable explanation be offered, that
given by the RECoRD-UNIoN must be ac-
cepted-to wit: that the Institute, in its
eagerness to make money, has shown gross
indifference to its obligations" The con-
clusion of the Post is sound. There is no
good reason why the Institute Fair should
conflict with the State Fair. 1t was made
to conflict for purely selfish purpose, and
the men who made the conflict did so
knowing that it would injure the State
Fair. How then is it possible to say that
they have the best interests of the State
at heart? The truth is they live within a
shell, they really believe the sun rises
and sets in San Francisco only, and that
San Francisco is California, and outside of
1T there are no interests worthy of consid-
Grafton. They imagine that if that city is
doomed it is all sufficient for the State,
and no other section need have attention
The Post is right when it says: But the
persistent way in which the Institute re-
fuses to come TO just arrangement with
the managers of the State Fair warrants
the belief that it seeks for its own benefit
TO inlure the Sacramento exhibition

ANOTHER VOICE FOR THE RIGHT.

The San Francisco Chronicle comes to the
right side of the question also, and declares
that in declining to arrange the date of the
Mechanics Fair so as not to conflict with
the State Fair, the managers of the former
did very unwise and ungenerous thing.
The Chronicle thereupon proceeds to review
the facts, and points out that any antagon-
ism between the two fairs is produced by
the Institute managers, and is unnatural
and wholly inexcusable. 1t calls upon the
Institute managers to recede from their
position and place their dates early enough
not to conflict with the dates of the State
Fair. We hope the advice will be taken.
but have, we confess, very little faith in
their doing so. The Institute had better
remove the managers and put in set more
reasonable, with views of greater breadth
and capacity to stand by bargain when
made. They need men who can see the
State as well as San Francisco; who can
perceive that two fairs are better than one
in attracting visitors to the State, and adj
vising them of its resources. The Chronicle.
Post and Alta are now squarely out against
the Institute managers. How stand the
Cal, Bulletin and Egamine-?

The Two Fairs.


In declining to arrange the date of the
Mechanics Fair so as not to conflict with
the State Fair, the managers of the former
institution have done very unwise and
very ungenerous thing. They have given
currency to an idea which has no real
foundation, namely that there is rivalry
between the two fairs. and that one must
necessarily be opposed in all important
respects to the other. They have insisted
on having the Mechanics Fair in this CITY
at the very time to be covered by the State
Fair in Sacramento, and that too, in spite
OF an arrangement entered into in March,
1886, to prevent the very conflict in dates
which the managers of the Mechanics Fair
now bring about.
There is no reason why any such thing
should be done. There should be no feel
ing of rivalry at all between this city and
Sacramento, or between the Mechanics
Fair and the State Fair. The one is the
annual exhibition of the Mechanics In
stitute, the other the yearly State Agricult-
ural Fair, and the very names of the two
expositions should be sufficient to point
out the intrinsic differences between them.
Our fair is largely devoted to mechanics
and industrial appliances; the State Fair
is characterized by exhibitions of live
stock, to which the Mechanics Fair is
utterly stranger.
Even if it be the purpose of the Mechau-
les Institute to extend the scope of its ex-
hibition this year, and include in its ex-
hibits the agricultural products of the State
in all their variety, still there is no need of
collision or friction with a similar exhibit
ton elsewhere. Our season is not so short
that single week, or even a month, is of
vital Importance, and if the plan adopted
in 1886 be adhered to, that the Mechanics
Institute Fair open on the first Tuesday in.
August, and close on the fifth Saturday
following, and that the State Fair open one
week from the following Monday, it can do
no harm to either exhibition, and will al
low of double display of the resources of
the State.
We hope the managers of the Mechanics
Institute Fair will see fit to recede from
their present position, and accede to the
request of the Directors of the State. Fair,
as when two bodies are working for COM
mon purpose the advancement of the ma
terial interests of the State, it is entirely
unworthy of either to decline to make any
reasonable concession which shall further
such an end.

ANARCHISTS ARRESTED.
Rumor of Another Plot to Blow Up the

Rumor of Another Plot to Blow Up the
City of Vienna.
VIENNA, May 30th.-[Special.l Much
excitement has been caused here by the
rumor that the police had discovered an
other widespread Anarchist conspiracy, and
in consequence of which had made numer-
Gus arrests. About dozen arrests have
already been made at suburb called
Sechshause. A large quantity of explosives
had been seized, which seems to give
color of the supposition that the conspira-
tors meant to repeat the late abortive at
tempt to blow up Vienna. Several letters
were seized, two of which had been written
by the Belgium agitators, savagely melting
the Viennese workingmen to follow the
example of their Charleroi brethren. The
police believe they now have all the clues
to the conspiracy and know every move
made by the actors.

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from pro-
prietary medicines, no doubt has largely
benefited the consumers, as well as reliev-
ing the burden of home manufacturers.
Especially is this the case with Green's Au-
gust F2otoer and Boschee's German Syrup, as
the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen
has been added to increase the size of the
bottles containing these remedies, thereby
giving one-fifth more medicine in the 10
cent size. The August FlolOer for Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint, and the German
Syrup tor Cough and Lung troubles, have
perhaps the largest sale OF any medicines
in the world. The advantage OF increased
size of the bottles will be greatly appreci-
ated by the sick and afflicted in every town
and village in civilized countries. Sample
bottles, for 10 cents. remain the same size.
